Have you ever considered having maternity portraits taken? People do it for graduations, weddings, etc.. why not for such an important milestone as pregnancy, too?

Even if sometimes, it doesn't feel like it, your pregnant body is beautiful. Have a professional photographer capture that beauty. Years from now, you will look back at this period of your life and you won't remember the aches and pains. All you'll have memories of are the tender moments and you'll be proud at the transformation your body has gone through. Of course, your partner can also make snapshots of you, and with a good camera plus some photography techniques and props, you should have a few that may be just as good. If you want to go the DIY route, here are some pregnancy photography tips.
